Debugging steps in BIRT 2.3.2

vishalkp

Hello All,

I have started using BIRT 2.3.2 All in one.
I have seen the new facility of debugging report in BIRT 2.3.2.
So can anyone provide me the steps to debug the report.
When i click Debug, it switches to the Debugging perspective from reporting.
Then what is the procedure to add breakpoints and test the report.

Please suggest your reply.

Thanks in Advance...

With Regards,
Vishal KP.

You can add breakpoints the same as with Java breakpoints, if you go into the Script view in the designer, you can double click on the left hand side to add breakpoints to event handlers in Javascript, or open the Java class file in Java event handlers. You go to the menu and select Run/Debug Report. if its a Javascript event handler, it will stop execution, and you go over to the Debug perspective. Once in the debug perspective, it will open a second pane with the debug copy of your report. Not sure why, but I always have to go in manually the first time, any subsequent time it will open automatically. If its a Java event handler, you wont get a breakpoint until you open the Run/Debug Configurations/Reports/New Configuration (always the default name), change the type to either Java or All, go over to class path, and add the project containing your Java event handler. Then you can just run that configuration.

Hope that helps.
